Baked egg-in-a-hole

I have a toddler girl at home who is a very picky eater. She would drive me crazy with her food choices or lack there of !!! My lil one would taste whatever I give her with the tip of her lips checking to make sure that it is what I claim it to be, then decide to accept or reject it ! So I struggle to introduce variety in the regular meals with whatever is available at home. I guess many of you face the same kind of "attitude". A 2 yr old having an attitude!?? Were we like this with our parents? I hope not. This recipe is good in terms of taste, variety and presentation. I should say my daughter is not a big fan of eggs, and ate just a little bit, mostly the cheese. But hopefully this will help you fellow moms in your battle with your li'l ones. This is a classic English breakfast which can be served to adults too. It is a rich breakfast, so we might want to cut back ! The actual recipe is called Toad in the hole bake.

Humble beginnings!

I became a fan of cooking blogs when I came to the US because I suddenly found myself to be a home-maker with little knowledge of cooking and a lot of free time on my hands. After a couple of years and experimenting with a lot of food, I started thinking about my own blog!!! But doubting my writing skills, I have been pushing it back for some time. But with a bit of encouragement from one of my close friends and a boosting jolt from my husband, I decided not to wait any further. I hope that everybody will enjoy going through and trying out the recipes.

When I first started depending on the Internet for my cooking, I came across many wonderful recipe sites and cooking blogs!! One thing I realised is that since we are being offered a lot of different versions of a single recipe on the net, we will be more inclined to try out the recipes if we know that the recipe has passed somebody else's cooking test ! A picture of the dish will definitely go a long way to aid our decision. My objective with the blog is to post some of my original recipes along with the recipes from the net that I have chosen after trying out a few of the choices available. In the case of recipes taken from the other sites or books, the actual source will be posted along with the recipe, with the tips that I found to be useful. I sincerely hope that my blog will be a further incentive for everybody to experiment with the already popular dishes ! Please post your comments so that I can improve and evolve the blog into something which will help others who need a bit of inspiration for their cooking.
